Jasmine, Stephanie, & Karra's Pay it forward.

Waaaazzzaaaaapp.

Part 1

What is "Pay it Forward"?

'Pay it forward' is about other things that are happening in the world besides the nice thing we can have in our own household life that our guardians have given to us. It also means that when you help out a little bit and pass it on, maybe people can get effected by it because of what you have done. This is a big reminder that there are a lot of people that are less fortunate. It also means that there are hope for people who think they just can't fix their life that they have wrecked.

Part 2

What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?

My group and I handed out cards and candy to random people for our act of kindness.

Why did you choose this activity?We chose this activity because we thought that people could see that there are nice people in the world that would take their time just to make other people happy by giving out nice cards or candy, and hopefully we got that message across the people we have given our cards and candy to.Who did you help?We helped by trying to make other people have a more joyful day or a more joyful life, and hopefully make them think about making other people more joyful.What did you do?My group and I decided to give out cards and candy for those people who are just walking around, and trying to put a smile on their faces.When did you do you act of kindness?

My group and I did our random act of kindness on December 7th, 2009.

Part 3

How did your act of kindness go?

Our act of kindness went really well, better as we hoped it would be.What Happened?

Some people accepted our cards with a big smile on their face or a really nice comment, some people would just walk away and say 'no thanks'.How did you feel?I felted really good about how the people reacted when we gave our cards to them, it really made me happy about how they gave us really nice comments or gave us a really big smile, it made me feel good inside and made me want to do more and more!How did the person or people react?

Some people would just walk away and stare, probably because we would have a camera just taking pictures or videos of them, but most of the people gave us a smile.Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?We asked a lot of people to 'Pay it forward' because we put 'Please, Pay it forward' on all of our cards, that they could hopefully see.How did they react to your request?

Some were very freaked out because of the camera and some were really joyful and looked like we made their day!

Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important?

This was very important because it could make a person feel better or help then through ought the day if they were not feeling good.Has your act of kindness made a difference?

I think out act of kindness really made a difference because it might of helped someones life if someone were really mad and wanted to kill somebody, but we probably made them happier so they wont kill anyone.
